I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Strictly speaking, Foundation Establishment is the first realm of the Immortal Path, which lays the foundation and is hence called Foundation Establishment.

As for Golden Core cultivators, their Spirit Seas have condensed within, and when Golden Core is formed, they become a Gold Core Spirit Sea life. They are no longer held back by fate, and have taken the key step towards transcending from ‘human’ to ‘immortal’.

Thus, Foundation Establishment cultivators can only utilize flying tools, while Golden Core cultivators are able to cast off Earth’s gravity, flying through the sky and earth, relying on their Spirit Sea’s Golden Core.

Advancing from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage is much more difficult than advancing from the Qi Cultivation stage to the Golden Core stage.

Han Yi naturally lacked confidence in cutting down a Golden Core master with his Foundation Establishment powers. He would only have a slight possibility if he advanced to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Half-step Golden Core stage.

His thoughts raced as Han Yi’s body came to a halt.

Not far ahead of him, a massive black screen appeared out of nowhere. This black screen was the Dark Mist Space that Han Yi had experienced not long ago, also known as the invaded area of the Void Domain.

Han Yi paused for a moment, hesitated not, and turned around to walk away. After putting a safe distance between himself and the invaded area, he slowed down, hoping to find a safe area to cultivate.

However.

Suddenly, he halted his steps and furrowed his brows. Raising his right hand, he noticed an unusual black mark on the back of the hand when he had no idea when it appeared.

This mark was only the size of a fingernail, looking like an irregular snowflake, except that it was black. This color matched the color of the Void Beasts exactly.

“When did this happen?” Han Yi’s heart jolted.

He was confident that before this moment, there was no such thing on the back of his hand. At least, it was not present before he entered the Mirage Immortal World. He had met Li Yuan Yi and experienced the arrival of a strange existence, and when he returned to Shu Du, he had checked his body to be safe, but there was no mark on his palm then.

It was also impossible for it to appear when he was being chased by the Gold Core cultivators. He kept fleeing, not giving his opponents any opportunity to cast magic skills on him.

The only possibility was that it happened after entering the Mirage Immortal World, especially after killing those black shadow creatures, the Void Beasts.

Han Yi cautiously probed the black mark on his right hand with his Divine Soul, only to find that it didn’t seem to exist, or rather, it didn’t exist in his divine perception, as he could only see it with his naked eyes.

After a moment of bewilderment, Han Yi’s expression became more solemn. He placed his left hand over his right, let his magic power surge, and attempted to probe what exactly the mark was with his magic power.

As his magic power entered the mark, the surroundings changed instantaneously. Han Yi felt like he was falling, constantly falling, in a moment that seemed to be stretched out yet passed in an instant in his consciousness.

This feeling of time discrepancy, even as a Foundation Building Middle Level cultivator, made him feel uncomfortable.

Whoosh!

The falling sensation disappeared and the flickering light and shadows stabilized.

Han Yi was shocked.

At this moment, he found himself in a unfamiliar place, or rather, a place that was vastly different from before.

The scenery within a hundred meters was identical to that before his fall, but the scenery beyond it seemed jarringly different, as if it had been forcefully fused with the surroundings, creating a feeling of rupture.

It seemed as if everything within a hundred meters with him at the center had plummeted from the Mirage Immortal World and was forcibly squeezed into another world.

Beyond the hundred meters was an abandoned palace. This palace was not small, roughly the same size as the Azure Dragon Palace on the Azure Dragon Peak within the Xuandan Sect.

Han Yi looked around cautiously and found that there were several palaces and large lofts within a few hundred meters to a thousand meters to his left, right, and behind him, in addition to the palace a hundred meters away from him.

From the surrounding palaces and lofts, this seemed to be the site of a sect, or at least, it once was.

Han Yi looked at his arm and saw that the irregular, snowflake-like black mark had enlarged.

“Assuming that the black mark appeared after I killed the Void Beasts.”

“And the area within a hundred meters around me fell into this world, causing the mark to grow.”

“Considering the words of that female cultivator named Mu Yao, could it be that this is the Void Domain where 1 have fallen?”

Thoughts swirled through Han Yi’s mind, but unfamiliar with the Mirage Immortal World, he couldn’t piece together the truth and had to give up. He gripped his Seven Stars Kunwu Sword cautiously and walked sideways.

He didn’t head towards the palace that looked more important, but rather, to a relatively shorter tower nearby.

It took Han Yi three minutes to walk several hundred meters, taking each step with extreme caution, afraid of triggering any formations or restrictions.

However, to his relief, there were no abnormalities when he reached the entrance of the tower.

Han Yi looked up and saw a plaque above the entrance of the tower, half askew and only two-thirds intact. On the plaque were two characters, “Scripture Collection.” He guessed that this place was a Scripture Collection Pavilion, Scripture Collection Tower, or something of the sort.

However.

Such places might contain cultivation techniques and clues. As Han Yi’s spirits lifted, he pushed the door open and entered. Inside the tower, it was a ruin. There were no magic skills in sight, just broken stones and tiles, not even a single bookshelf.

But in a corner, Han Yi found a corpse, or rather, a skeleton with a dagger pierced straight into its forehead..
